A friend called me tonight. His sanity-challenged girlfriend finally pushed him to the limit, and he's staying with us for the night. I fixed him a pizza and a coke and we sat out on the front porch talking till he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore.
He's been a good friend for a long time, and only distance has kept us apart the last several years. The selfish part of me is hoping that whatever change he makes in his circumstance will allow us to see each other more often, but of course he's got to make decisions that work for him. I wish I could solve all his problems, but like most humans I can't be all wise and all powerful. I can only hope that something I said or did made a positive difference.
